Short stories
(download the pdf. by clicking on the title)
Monkey Business
This story was inspired by a huge blow-up model of King Kong that I saw outside a used car dealer in 1975.
These were written for magazine publication. Some I adapted for longer works, or included in novels - recycling existing
work is a great way to generate material.
Ticket Home
This story eventually became a key scene in my forthcoming novel for teenagers - Karl.
Moving On
A ghost story, set in Edinburgh.
Captain Sanchez' Final Solution
I expanded Sanchez into a full length novel for middle schoolers - soon to be published as Down Among the Deadmen.
Arnold
This story eventually became a central scene in Grinder.
The Waterbury Clock
A love story
